Hi guys!!

Got some possible wheels lined up but i need to know a few things first!!

Gonna be changing to five stud fitment on my touring, and will be lowered with adjustable coilover kit.

So, what are the biggest wheels i can fit, front & back with no mods?? What tyres sizes would i run - and who knows what ET's i need to look for with 5 stud fitments??

Looking at some nice wheels but only the 17x10's for the rear have got a nice dish and i'm pretty doubtfull they would fit!!
Would it just be a case of getting the arches rolled somewhere??

Also gonna be getting some 15's aswell for ultimate handling - what et's should i look for on those?? And the width - 7 wide up front and 8 rear??

Sorry for the long post, but thanks in advance for your help!!!!

There arent many people running 5 stud on normal E30s on here, so finding max wheel sizes etc isnt going to be easy.

Jordan has now got some 18x8.5 on his - Click Me

I think 17x10 will be too wide for a non-M3 E30 without some serious arch work.

I can tell you they wont fit mate. Well they will but they will stick out a mile. I use to run 10j's on my M3 and they just stuck out, which is what i wanted cause i was after the Euro style. I think you will get away with 9j with the arch rolled. Then again if you are using coil-overs, then you might not need your arches rolled. Good luck :wink:
